Развитие медицинской науки и здравоохранения позволяет пациентам практически полностью восстановить утраченное здоровье после перенесенных травм или существенно снизить выраженность болевых ощущений при других нозологиях. Одним из методов, с помощью которых достигаются указанные цели, является кинезиотейпирование. В обзоре литературы проведен анализ эффективности аппликации кинезиотейпов в профилактике, лечении и реабилитации пациентов с широким спектром заболеваний. Рассмотрены виды и техники наложения таких тейпов, обозначены отдельные механизмы действия и представлены возможности клинического применения кинезиотейпирования.

Advances in medical science and healthcare allow patients to almost completely restore lost health after injuries or significantly reduce the severity of pain in other nosologies. Kinesio taping is one of the methods making it possible to achieve these goals. The literature review analyzes the effectiveness of kinesio tapes in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with a wide range of diseases. Types and techniques of application of such tapes are observed, action mechanisms of kinesio taping are given, and its possible clinical applications are presented.
